Thanks. Nothing I do now is retained. I was able to use the Starter Config tool to assign an IP address and then the box will respond to pings, but I could not view any shares on it and cannot open the web configuration page. And the IP address would not survive a reboot of the NAS. But right now not even that is working.…

Reset the configuration and built a new volume. Still the same issue (some services reporting that there is no volume). Looks like the NAS is toast. 

ok, restored config from Feb last year, no difference, still the same volume related messages. Going to hard reset the NAS.

I pulled out both drives (2TB and 4TB) and inserted the original 2TB drive that I had initially removed. Data is all accessible but same issues with Download Service (for example) reporting "Download Service is not available for there is no volume". So that's both of the original drives. I know the configuration of the NAS…

Thanks, no luck with telnet either. I tried both these options: The SSH webinterface backdoor does not seem to work (returns result=0). The telnet webinterface backdoor can be used with this URL: http://<ip-of-nas>/zyxel/cgi-bin/remote_help-cgi?type=backdoor and The /zyxel/ part is exchanged by /r38657,/adv,/, so the…

I do have a backup of my NAS config from last year. It hasn't change materially since then. Is it worth trying to restore that? Or doing a full reset on the NAS and then setting it up again do you think? 

Can't install any packages - "this feature is not available for there is no volume"

ok, RAID is rebuilt, with one old drive and one new drive. Currently green and displays "healthy". I shutdown the NAS and restarted. Still green and healthy. One thing that's strange though. I can no longer use some of the services. The Download Service page doesn't allow me to enable the service, and at the bottom it says…

I ran a scan and the volume now shows degraded. I've now started the repair process. This is with my 4TB and 2TB drive inserted. The data should be the same on each, since it successfully built the array earlier and I didn't change any data (perhaps timestamps). Fingers crossed.

Not to ask a stupid question, but to ask a stupid question, did you enable SMB1? https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9fd07a6b-62dc-40b0-995c-5a3a5d533150/how-to-enabledisable-smbv1-in-windows-10?forum=win10itpronetworking

ok, data backed up, again. For clarity, the two original drives are 2TB, the two new drives are 4TB WB RED NAS drives and are on the compatibility list. 2TB drives in a RAID array. I shutdown, pulled one drive, inserted a new drive, booted the NAS, and it showed degraded mode. It rebuilt by itself, and went green.…

Ha ha, thanks. But you know, it should have worked already so I'm not quite so keen on that assumption. :) I'll update you again when copying is done. 

Thanks. Yes, the RAID array rebuilt and was green with the new/old (2T/4T) combo. When I removed the old 2TB disk and left the 4T solo, it showed down, not degraded. But the old 2T drive solo shows degraded, not down. I will reinsert the old drive to have both the old drive and new drive (2T/4T) combination which WAS…

Didn't work. Removed the first drive and the RAID volume went to degraded. Powered down and inserted the new disk, the volume rebuilt itself, so now working with 1 x old drive and 1 x new drive. I then removed the final old drive and inserted the new drive but the RAID volume won't move from "down". Is there a way to force…
